In the second close game in a row, the Lakers did almost everything right except keep track of the ball. Althought they shot 48.6% and outrebounded the Nets 42 to 31, their 21 turnovers killed them.
The game started with an early 12-2 run by the Lakers, but New Jersey resonded 10-0. That's pertty much how the first half went. The Lakers went into the half up by 5, with 9 turnovers to the Net's 8.
But they made 9 more turnovers in 3rd quarter alone, with a 9-0 New Jersey spurt at the start the only run of the period. It wasn't until late in th 4th that the Lakers made a charge that came up a little short. They made 12 turnovers in the second half to only 5 by the Nets.
